Flossed and brushed yesterday. Major victory.

Flossed and brushed yesterday.
Now that flossing seems to be a pretty ingrained habit, I'm going to really work on trying to brush daily with a goal of keeping it up until my next dental cleaning appointment in early Nov. I want to have another good checkup. __________________ "I danced in the morning when the world was begun. I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun". From my favourite hymn.

Your post inspired me today and I organized my late evening in such a way as to be able to fit in the 2nd brushing.

Really hoping your new evening routine will let you get that second brushing in.

2nd brushing today, interrupted when my friend knocked on the door (she came to join me for a 5k walk). So I did not get 2 minutes. I got a little less than 1.5 minutes. But, it is OK. Something is better than nothing.

I'm curious, do you set a timer when you're brushing?

I think I may try the timer, as I'm pretty sure I'm not brushing anywhere near to 2 min.

Brushed for the 2nd time today. Now waiting for the 30 mins since the brushing to pass and then will have a snack and go do cardio HIITs, followed by a personal training session. It will be my first time doing two in a row.

I did not manage to do cardio right after eating because I was full, but I did cardio after personal training, with a significant break between them.

Had to go home early to take a nap today. Did the 2nd brushing after the nap. Will WFH now and do my cardio in the evening.

Sleep is so important. You must have needed it. You will floss and brush on another day.
